Is the water clean at Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja?
Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Parking. There's parking about ~70 m from the beach.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The nearest town, Zudaire, is about ~600 m away.
Worth remembering: “Good” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Navarre. There are 2 places to eat within a kilometre — Irigoyen is the closest, about ~680 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Should you swim at Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja?
Yes. Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja's official 2025 rating is Good — one notch below the top classification — and 11 of 11 classified seasons here have rated Excellent or Good. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
What's the current water temperature at Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja?
Treat the ~27°C above as illustrative only — Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja's live marine feed was down when this page was generated, and the figure will be replaced with a real reading automatically once it's back. That's the reading right off Navarre. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When is the best time to swim at Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja?
For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. That applies to the water around Navarre. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Who measures the water quality rating, and how?
It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja.
What's nearby Rio Urederra Am?scoa Baja — parking, buses, or a ferry?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. There's a bus stop about ~670 m from the beach. The nearest town is Zudaire, about ~600 m away.
